Japanese Entertainment: A Comeback Beginning from Bankrupt President

But she didn't have time to think about that, because as soon as she returned to Tokyo, a lot of editing work awaited her.

Did you enjoy the Chinese New Year? It was great, wasn't it? Then let's get back to work.

"Is this how you treat your only artist?" When Amano Aki saw the to-do list on the computer, he was furious. "I feel like you should hire one or two more staff members, since we're not short of money."

The revenue must be over 100 million, but the only employee is in Seoul, leaving the president and the artists to frantically work on their computer screens.

That shouldn't be the case. They're a fairly well-known company now; there should be many people wanting to join.

"And then leak the agency's secrets?" Kazuya Sawashiro's gaze went across the screen and landed on the whimsical Aki Amano's face. "There are some things that are not yet ready to be said, and your mouth can't be as tight as a zipper, just like last time."

Last time, she almost told Kurosaki Takuya about Ayase. Even though Kurosaki Takuya wasn't exactly an outsider, it still proved that Amano Aki wasn't a tight-lipped person.

"Hehe...that was just an accident." Knowing he was in the wrong, Amano Aki immediately covered his head with the screen.

That's how it is sometimes; it just slips out without you even realizing it.

She could hide her shyness, but neither could Ze Cheng, because his face was bigger than Amano Aki's.

Kazuya Sawashiro rested his chin on his hand and sighed at Misaki Tachibana, who was about to enroll in school: "If you're as composed as Tachibana-san, then I might consider it. Otherwise, you'll have to do more than you can handle."

"I have a younger sister, would you consider it?"

"A younger sister? You actually have a younger sister?" Kazuya Sawashiro moved his face away from the monitor, grinning mischievously as he continued, "I've never heard you mention her before, so does she have a boyfriend? Has she ever considered someone like me?"

In Kazuya Sawashiro's view, this was exactly what the other party meant by "considering".

Although he doesn't know how old her younger sister is, as long as she's not still in kindergarten, and if Amano Aki tries her best to match the two of them, Sawashiro Kazuya will reluctantly consider it.

So what was her reasoning?

Well... judging from Amano Aki's current expression, it's definitely not what Sawashiro Kazuya was thinking, because her eyes, nose, and eyebrows are all squeezed together, and her mouth is slightly open as she stares at Sawashiro Kazuya, unable to say a word.

Why is another frivolous label being added to my New Year celebrations? Is it because I suddenly felt lonely during the holiday?

But he had a very lively New Year's celebration, and he even tormented Tachibana Misaki to that extent.

A little hard to understand, Amano Aki thought for a moment and then stopped guessing. Tilting her head, she asked Sawashiro Kazuya, "I didn't say that, but didn't you investigate me behind my back? Didn't you know I have a younger sister?"

"Why are you investigating your family background?" Kazuya Sawashiro asked, tilting his head in return.

Modern society does indeed have some prejudices against certain family members, especially when a family member commits an irreparable crime. In addition to legal proceedings, even unrelated family members may face trial.

Therefore, many times, the families of perpetrators will go to live in other places under assumed names in order to avoid being judged by society.

So, returning to Aki Amano, Kazuya Sawashiro did investigate her background, but only her personal information from her debut onwards. Her family background was not investigated; he only knew that Aki Amano's hometown was the seaside town of Kuji.

Then there's a somewhat "temperamental" mother in the family who beat up Amano Aki because he didn't bring him home last time.

Kazuya Sawashiro's question immediately stumped Aki Amano.

This is different from the TV plot.

Shouldn't we investigate everything about her before deciding to stand by her side? After all, family factors can also become targets of social attacks. Would anyone really go to sea without any preparation?

the other side.

Seeing that Amano Aki looked completely dazed, Kazuya Sawashiro couldn't help but laugh. She really did seem a little naive.

After a moment's thought, Ze Cheng Kazuya saw through Amano Aki's thoughts: "Aren't you overthinking things? We often do things based on intuition. We only think about how to do it best after we've done it. Whether or not we investigate your background has no impact on the work, so I won't do it, you know?"

"Can't you understand me a little better?" Amano Aki blurted out, though he immediately regretted it.

These were her true feelings, but being a straightforward person, she could only hope that the other person hadn't heard them after she said them, so that she wouldn't feel particularly embarrassed.

Please, can you just be deaf for three seconds?

Amano Aki prayed to the heavens, but the only response was from Sawashiro Kazuya, who was listening intently. He asked, puzzled, "Huh? Why? Don't we know each other well enough? Do I need to know you even better?"

"No...it's nothing, I was just joking with you." Amano Aki said, her face flushed, as if to say it was okay.

He did have a deep understanding of her, but that understanding was based solely on their colleague relationship. Judging from what Sawashiro Kazuya said, he had no intention of learning more, so Amano Aki could only end the conversation with a joke.

"joke?"

"Yes, just kidding." Amano Aki blinked, feigning innocence in a way that most girls would use.

Magic like this, where nothing happens, is always useful.

Kazuya Sawashiro was also under this spell. He shrugged as if nothing had happened and returned to the original question: "So, are you going to introduce your sister to work at the agency? Aren't you really worried that she might accidentally fall in love with me after she comes? I'm single, you know."

"I was thinking about it, but now I've changed my mind."

When no one brought it up, Aki Amano had never thought about this kind of thing, but once it was brought up, it was impossible to ignore.

My younger sister is only two years younger than me. Although she has been working in society for several years and seems to have a deep understanding of society and human nature, as the older sister, I know that she is still an ordinary woman who admires strong people.

When she got home, she kept asking around about who Kazuya Sawashiro was, which clearly showed that she was interested in him.

Imagine bringing someone to Tokyo, working and living under the same roof, seeing Kazuya Sawashiro's face every day—only a Minato Ward woman could resist that temptation, and perhaps even set a trap for Kazuya Sawashiro.

My younger sister, who just graduated from high school? She's basically an idiot.

Moreover, his younger sister's personality is similar to his own; she's the type who can't keep secrets. Thinking about it this way, Kazuya Sawashiro is indeed very composed.

Thinking of this, Amano Aki also put an end to his recklessness this time: "Let's not talk about her anymore, let's focus on our work. So, have you decided where to release the movie? It's time to think about that."

"Yes, I'm already thinking about that."
